Open Lab: Smart production at your fingertips - from the idea to modern processes
How can modern production processes be implemented in practice? Which technologies are suitable for your company and how do they work in real use?
As part of our monthly event series, "Smart Production Up Close – From Concept to Modern Processes," we cordially invite small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to visit the model and experimental environments at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (every 1st Thursday) and the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (every 3rd Thursday).
Our goal is not merely to discuss innovative production and digitalization solutions in theory, but to allow you to experience them firsthand using real-world demonstrators and to work together on applying them to your specific use cases.
What to Expect
- Live demonstrations of modern production and automation technologies
- Personalized discussions regarding your specific questions and challenges
- Preliminary assessments of potential applications and implementation strategies
- Direct access to experts from both the fields of research and industry practice
In the Open Lab, you will experience - among others - the following demonstrators:
Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau
- Industry 4.0 applications
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in practice
- Machine vision systems for industrial applications
- Robotics solutions in production
- ...as well as many other on-site technologies
Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg
